I’m quite certain that every QB will say his line is great or talented, or guys I’d go to war with. It’ll be a real story when one of them says, these guys suck

Mon, 27 May 2013 20:55:48 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2158158#comment-2559327If Bill Nagy some hows beats out Dominic Rollover for the starting center job this team could make a deep run into the playoffs, possibly their first superbowl appearance.This will be a top five defense with the addition of Glover Quinn and a healthy Louis Delmas on the back end.The only question is will they be able to run the ball consistently on short yardage and late in games.With the addition of big Larry Warford and the (hopeful) replacement of Dominic Raiola the interior of their oline still be much improved giving them the balance on offense they so lacked last year thus making them a complete football team. Go lions superbowl or bust 2013

What is the old adage a good running game is the quarterbacks best friend. Detroit can use it. I wish them well.

So who exactly do u root for then?? Because now ur statement makes no sense at all.

My statement makes perfect sense.

Ponder has a weak arm. My name makes fun of him. He is “the dump off king” because that’s all he can do.

What teams have beaten the Lions 7 out of 8 times since Horsehead came into the league?

There are two. Both of whom have better Quarterbacks than the Lions.

If they don’t, 4-6 wins max.

Even in the close games where neither team scored a lot, Stafford was still throwing over 40 passes. You can’t win without a running game. Ask Brees.

Vikes fans-every time you even think about talking smack about another teams quarterback please take a second to remember that Christian Ponder is yours. This should stop you dead in your tracks and restore some humility to you.

I always love it when dudes like “pondertheDUMP” throw stones in a glass house. Funny too cause last time I checked Ponder was and is one of the bottom 2 QBS in the NFL.. But lets take a crack at Staff who behind ur OL and with Peterson behind him would no doubt have the Queens in the SB. Check urself.

You probably can’t tell, but my screen name is making fun of Christian Ponder.

Detroit Education: FANTASTIC!

The only real question is can Reiff really make us forget Backus and can Raiola train us a replacement for next year with Nagy because Raiola is gone in 2014.

Its like Detroit invites you in with one hand and pushes you away with the other ….Improved the skill positions but then you leave them in vunerable position with an untested line after coming off a major underachieving season? …..I had a little faith in the new management, now I’m starting to get that ol’ M&M boys feeling ….Hype but no production

Of course, Stafford would say he doesn’t expect that. What did you expect?

Oh and Lions fans should relax a bit. Saying something negative about your team doesn’t mean people are hating on them and the Lions.

Mon, 27 May 2013 14:14:17 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2158158#comment-2558856Its nice for once to have young potential on the offensive line for once. We will miss Backus in terms of reliability but I think that reif can hold his own on the left side. Rob Sims and warford at the guards and probably Jason fox at right tackle. We definitely have upside and the potential to be good but raiola is dead weight and he’s probably slated to start by default and thats what worries me.

Mon, 27 May 2013 14:02:47 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2158158#comment-2558844So basically the starting o-line has been downgraded from last year, and instead of having plenty of depth like last season, there will be zero depth this year. Got it.

Thanks for that tip.

The entire article proves that you don’t know what you are talking about. Cherilus left the team because he wasn’t wanted in Detroit – and another team overpaid drastically for his services. The Cherilus signing this off season has been called the biggest single mistake of the year by your press brethren.

Fox certainly isn’t a downgrade. He would only have to be average to be considered a huge upgrade at RT – regardless of the wording by PTF’s clueless writers…
